Mutantos Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi After today's ( 13.06.2018 ) update I am unable to hook my F-18 to the Stennis's catapult. I am positioning myself but pressing "U" has no effect :(. It used to work before. Am I doing something wrong perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 13, 2018 ED Team Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) make sure your launch bar is down MP. Carrier Auto Launch Sequence. A client should have to be within 3 meters of the start of the CAT, with angles in not more 10 degrees to CAT line error and extended launch bar for the shortcut key U to work and connect the launch bar. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3529290#post3529290 Edited June 13, 2018 by BIGNEWY Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

claw Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Make sure you match the parameters: "Carrier Auto Launch Sequence. A client should have to be within 3 meters of the start of the CAT, with angles in not more 10 degrees to CAT line error and extended launch bar for the shortcut key U to work and connect the launch bar."

Steel Jaw Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Is there any way to know if I'm in tension without looking outside in the F2 view?

Phantom453 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Is there any way to know if I'm in tension without looking outside in the F2 view? You should sense a slight jolt as you are connected to the shuttle (after pressing the "U" key). Also, I don't think the jet blast deflector will raise from the carrier deck unless you are connected (look over your shoulder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The nose will dip a bit. You'll see steam from the cat Track and the JBD should go up behind you.

ARM505 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I hope my following question is relevant to this thread: But does anybody else have quite serious problems lining up due to the weird ground handling on the CV's deck? The plane jitters a bit when coming to a stop until the sim decides you've actually stopped, and the 'weathercocking' effect when turning throught the wind is pretty extreme and a bit weird and counter-intuitive; for example, I find when the wind should be helping the aircraft to turn, it stops turning and NWS LO doesn't have enough authority to turn it. Even HI struggles, and the aircraft gets 'pushed' sideways a bit. Often, when viewed in the F2 external view you can see the aircraft sliding sideways and doing strange things. Thankfully there's some leeway allowed in the lineup. But to me, the deck handling needs some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamin_Squirrel Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 You're not the only one. Also don't lose patience in HI and turn too quickly as you won't turn, just scrub the tyre across the ground/deck. Good to see you around these parts again Mr ARM :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
